No worries...: Unless it was tasty enough for to you eat the whole tube .! nothing will happen if u inadvertently swallowed some tooth paste while brushing , or even more . ..But don't make that as a habit.

Flouride poisoning : You can get poisoned from excessive fluoridation as most of toothpaste contain flouride..

Nothing: You'd have to eat a bathtub full of toothpaste to have any harm. Little children should be taught not to swallow toothpaste or it can mottle teeth if ingested in excess, but will not harm adult. Please call poison control center if you are concerned, or talk to your dentist. I'm really tired of untrue Fluoride conspiracy theories.
